After four years in the Corvette catalog as Regular Production Option B2K, Callaway Twin Turbo conversions ended after the 1991 model year. Callaway completed the 500th Twin Turbo conversion on September 26, 1991 and subsequently built another 12 cars with special badging and options; these were the Callaway 500 Series cars, also known as Speedsters for their special open body design by Paul Deutschman. The Callaway was still the most powerful Corvette available, cranking a healthy 400 HP and 580 lb-ft of torque, well ahead of the ZR1’s output of 375 HP and 370 lb-ft. The Speedsters were a giant step up, endowed with 450 HP and 613 lb-ft of torque. Known as the "Mini Sledge" because of its similarity to the famous Callaway Sledgehammer, this 1991 Callaway Series 500 Twin Turbo is number 501, the first of the 500 Series cars and the only one finished in its unique Periwinkle Purple paint. Like the other Series 500 Twin Turbos it wears the unique Speedster body and O.Z. 3-piece racing wheels, special 500 Series badges on the dash and under the hood on the driver’s side intercooler.
